Adolescents / Teenagers (14 to 19) Therapists in Courtenay, BC

"Thanks for looking to me as your prospective psychotherapist. I wish it were otherwise, but suffering is intrinsic to life. However, adversity can deepen our happiness if we learn to live more consciously. What we resist, persists. What unexamined core beliefs have you living below your potential? Together, we'll challenge seemingly 'protective' self-sabotage, explore your deepest aspirations, and develop strategies against overwhelm and discouragement. Instead of relying upon outer authority, we will access your innate wisdom. Through your core values, you'll be supported in taking decisive action to live your singular life with greater purpose and meaning."

"Dr. Cheryl Bucar Having experienced personal and work related loss, I have learned that recovery from the trauma of loss and change is a process. In many situations such as a death or divorce the individual is able to label the loss and associated feelings as grief. Often in an organizational context, individuals do not think that the work related change as loss which can trigger profound feelings of grief. Understanding organizational loss in this context, normalizing the feelings that go with this type of change allows the integration of this knowing into my group and individual counselling work."
